While driving the car on the morning of february 16, 2020, my vehicle engine turned off without warning while taking a left turn at approximately 10mph. once the turn was complete and i pressed the pedal to accelerate, there was no response. all electronics were still on, but the speedometer showed 0mph and the engine was not running. i rolled to a stop on the shoulder and pressed the ignition to turn of the electrical systems. when pressing the ignition to restart the vehicle, it struggled to start but was successful. i continued my commute to work. it is easy to understand the risk associated with a total loss of engine power while driving on public streets. especially since the power steering was not functioning either. i still have no indication of what caused the failure and will consult my local jeep dealer.
This jeep compass has auto start stop-when stopped the car will go into auto stop mode. randomly, when the car is stopped the car will completely lurch and shut down- brakes will lock and the car is inoperable. the dash will say that the emergency brake has been engaged- when in fact the emergency brake has not been touched. the car will sit in the middle of intersections completely locked and shut down for 5-7 minutes. during this time there is no option for the driver- the steering wheel will not work and the car is completely immobile. the car has been brought to the dealership at least 5 times in the past year to address this problem. the dealership has told me about how this engine uses an excessive amount of oil, and have blamed oil being the cause of the problem in multiple cases- despite frequent oil changes and the oil change notification not coming up. on the third time in the dealership, i was told that there was a system upgrade that needed to be conducted. on the 4th time i was told again it was the oil (still no oil light indicator) the 5th time ...
I have my 2018 jeep compass for literally 10 months now not even a year. bought the car in april of 2019 and it is now january 2020. i've taken my car approximately 2 times to the shop for routine maintenance. any time i put the car in reverse it jerks as if something underneath the car is about to fall out. when placed in drive it goes into some sort of limp mode where it does not want to go this has happened to me about 3 times now. twice in traffic! where i'm stalled out on the highway waving for people to go around. an absolute nightmare. as of last night i was parked at a grocery store about to pull off when the car jerked and shut off again. when i tried to turn the car back on the dash light started to go hay wire and the engine light popped on with the transmission light dinging red that the transmission needs servicing when i put the car in drive again it went no where.this is a huge burden in my life right now this is my only transportation to get my children and i back ...
2.4l multiair motor burns oil at excessive rate. new car burns 1qt of oil per 850 miles. no "low oil" indicator light. when low on oil, car stalls, jolts, or shuts off. stall generally occurs when turning at low speeds (less than 30 mph). significant safety hazard if turning in front of oncoming traffic. car will stall if down 2 quarts. therefore, if you do not refill oil every 1500 miles, you risk stalling on roadways. current vehicle has 26,000 miles. normally add 5 quarts of oil between scheduled oil changes. stalling has occurred approximately 10 times. two times stall occurred in intersection, almost resulting in high speed collision from opposing traffic.
My car is not even 2 years old and it has completely shut down twice while driving. very quickly a 'low oil pressure warning' sign will flash on the dashboard, and soon after the car becomes limp and completely shuts down. it will not move and doesn't allow further driving. the dealership found my oil is low, even though i haven't even hit 2500 miles since my last oil change. they are having me come back after 500 miles to monitor oil consumption and investigate further. this is extremely frustrating and dangerous, as it has shut off when i'm on main roads with cars all around me. i'm very disappointed, as i have never had any issues with previous jeeps i've owned.
The jeep compass 2018 car just stops in the middle of driving. there is no oil light to indicate it is low on oil. this is a serious safety hazard . this has happened twice. the car eats oil. dealer said to drive for 2000 miles and bring it in . i am terrified of driving it. it needs a new engline
oil burning up way before oil change is due. caused my car to stall in the middle of the road. the stall occurred while making a right turn at an intersection speed of approximately 10-15 mph. mileage was about 39000 while making the turn a quick chime and oil pressure low came on and disappeared and the car immediately stalled. come to find out that was was oil on dipstick. no warnings
Two days in a row the engine shut down less then one mile into my morning commute as i was turning onto the main road out of my development. the engine shut off, the steering became difficult, and the parking brake engaged. no warning lights came on, and nothing indicated why the car was shutting down. when taken into the dealer after the second incident in as many days, i was told the engine was low or out of oil and shutting down is a safety feature as is engaging the emergency brake in traffic. i wasn't due for an oil change for another month based on jeep's recommended schedule, but i was forced to do one so they could verify the issue. i was also told the compass has a new highly efficient engine and these new engines are so efficient they burn/leak oil, and i am to check my oil every 500-1000 miles and always have a quart in the car to top it off. when i asked why there wasn't a dashboard indicator the oil was low i was told the compass does not have such an indicator. ...

Since i've purchased the vehicle the emergency brakes comes on randomly. i can literally be driving and come to a stop sign and it comes on. this is unsafe and can cause others to hit you from behind. my car has also for the second time in one year had check engine and transmission light to come on. this should not take place with a brand new car.
1) the jeep compass was traveling in motion on a farm to market road and stalled. it completely shut down. no steering, no braking. complete failure. no way to signal or let others traveling down the same highway that the vehicle was stalled. 2) the hood has popped open while traveling down a major highway. 3) all the alarms in the vehicle have gone off while traveling down the road. 4) the low oil pressure light and alarm has gone off while traveling down the road. 5) settings, such as park brake and radio, have changed indiscriminately. **by far, the most serious and dangerous problem is the vehicle stalling when in motion. then, it was hard to restart, in the middle of the road!!**
The car stalls or does not start. when we hit the start button it clicks and then the display says the car is running. by no means is the car running. we have checked the battery and disconnected the battery to see if it would reset anything. no go. this has also been happening since we bought the vehicle two years ago. it has now decided it will not start at all.
My hill brake activates while i'm in traffic, making u-turns, and driving. i took it to the dealership in january and they couldn't replicate the problem so they couldn't resolve it. they had it from january 25th to february 14th. now my car isn't starting and the hill brake is activating. i got a new battery and an oil change on monday, december 23rd.
The car stopped in the middle of freeway, i was lucky no one was behind me, so far three times it happened. every time when it happened i was driving the car. the way it happens first my speed will reduced even though i was pushing the gas, and suddenly stops.
